Girls Incorporated of the Island City, located in the community of Alameda, is thrilled to partner with See Jane Run once again on this year’s Women’s Half Marathon and 5k on Sunday, June 5, 2011.

Girls Inc. helps girls over come economic, social and gender barriers to growing up healthy, educated and independent by providing life-changing programs and experiences. We are proud of the powerful effect our programs have on young women.

There is a critical need for our girls to have caring adults to help them develop their full potential. Join them today with a commitment of your own. Help our young women know that they are entitled to be heard, to be taken seriously, to dream big dreams, and to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue those dreams.

In the Supergirl Dilemma study conducted by Girls Inc., we found: Support systems bolster girl’s ability to believe they can achieve their dreams and endure stress, and yet one in ten girls, and one in five high school girls, say they do not know three adults to whom to turn if they have a problem.

We need your support more than ever. Please take a moment to click on the link below to set up a personal fundraising page for Girls Incorporated of the Island City.

When you are setting a goal, consider the following:

$125 will support 1 girl for 1 week of programming
$250 will support 1 girl for 2 weeks of programming
$500 will support 1 girl for 4 weeks of programming
$1000 will support 1 girl for 8 weeks of programming
Any amount inspires girls to be strong, smart and bold
